Shit that happened in 2022
🕑 Added 2023-01-02 12:31:34 +0000 UTCFor the past few years, I've routinely sat down at the start of each year and journaled my new years resolutions, things I want to achieve in the 12 months ahead. When the year comes to a close, I'll sit down with those goals once more, giving them a tick or a cross.
But when I went to complete this yearly ritual once more, I realised I didn't have my 2022 goals with me. They were in a diary that was packed up in storage in Australia.
For a moment, I felt as though I had failed. How would I score myself on how well I did?! How will I know if the past year was a success???
I let myself feel this anger for a moment, and then I asked, "Who did I BECOME this year?"
Looking back on these past 12 months, I realised a lot of shit happened, and I'm not the same person I was at the beginning of 2022.
I achieved ALOT. But I also failed, and that deserves just as much acknowledgement.
Shit that happened:
✨️ Quit my full-time job
✨️ Suffered from severe anxiety and disassociation
✨️ Held my first interstate naked yoga event
✨️ Started a podcast
✨️ Caught covid & missed a huge gathering (I was devastated)
✨️Shaved my head
✨️ Began exploring non-monogamy
✨️ Fell into a deep depression
✨️ Started cognitive behavioural therapy
✨️ Went on my first solo road trip
I encourage you to do the same! Pull out your phone or take a piece of scrap paper and dot point the shit that happened in 2022 for you. Good, bad, and everything in between!
If you want to share it with me, I'd love to chat about it! I'm here to celebrate you 🍾
